Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of prophylaxis and/or treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BFE) in susceptible warm-blooded animals including man and in particular to a combination therapy involving administering a combination of drags which inhibit sex steroid (androgens and estrogens) activity by blocking their formation and/or by blocking receptors where they act.
- BFE benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Blockade of testicular androgen secretion by surgical or medical (LHEH agonist) castration is known to decrease prostatic size (Auclair et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Common. 76: 855-862, 1977; Auclair et al., Endocrinology 101: 1890-1893, 1977; Labrie et al., Int. J. Andrology, suppl. 2 (V. Hansson, ed.), Scriptor Publisher APR, pp. 303-318, 1978; Labrie et al., J.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,423,507 discloses the use of the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (1 ⁇ ,2 ⁇ -methylene-6-chloro-17 ⁇ -acetoxy-6-dehydroprogesterone) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- the abovementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3423507 is disadvantageous since such compound (cyproterone acetate) has same androgenic activity (Poyet and Labrie, Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 32: 283-288, 1985; Labrie et al., J. Steroid Biochem. 28: 379-384, 1987) and, consequently, only a partial inhibition of androgen action is expected.
- the antiestrogen Tamoxifen has been shown to improve steroid-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in the dog (Funke et al., Acta Endocrinol. 100: 462-472, 1982).
- Administration of the antiestrogen Tamoxifen in association with the steroidal antiandrogen cyproterone acetate in patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia showed beneficial effects on the symptoms of the disease (Di Silverio et al., in Ipertrofia Prostatica Benigna (F. Di Silverio, F. Neumann and M. Tannenbaum, eds), Excerpta Medica, pp. 117-125, 1986).
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,310,523 it is proposed that a combination of an antiandrogen and an antiestrogen is effective for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamoxifen, however, has intrinsic estrogenic activity which limits its effectiveness.
- Estrogen formation resulting from aromatization of androgens occurs at several sites.
- aromatization of androgens has been demonstrated in the testis, adipose and muscle tissue, skin, liver, brain and prostate (Schweikert et al., J. Clin. Endocrinol.

- BPH is caused by increased activity of both androgens and estrogens. Because of such a dual etiology of BPH, proposed hormonal therapies have been less than satisfactory and have all been unpredictable while, frequently, causing unacceptable side-effects. Moreover, the prior art treatment seldomly resulted in a decrease in prostatic volume above about 20 to 30% with inconsistent effects on the symptomatology (Scott and Wade, J. Urol. 101: 81-85, 1969; Caine et al., J. Urol. 114: 564-568, 1975; Peters and Walsh, New Engl. J. Med. 317: 599-604, 1987; Gabrilove et al., J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab.

- activation of the androgen receptor will stimulate prostatic hyperplasia, and is therefore to be prevented. However, it is also important to prevent stimulation of the estrogen receptor which is also a stimulator of BFH. Since a generalized blockade of the androgen receptor has undesirable side effects, it is usually preferable to block the activity of 5 ⁇ -reductase, an enzyme required for the formation of the androgen active in prostatic tissue, namely DHT. Other tissues, especially those responsible for libido, are stimulated by testosterone. Thus, the reduction of libido during treatment may be minimized by using an inhibitor of 5 ⁇ -reductase activity and reducing or eliminating inhibitors of testosterone activity which can cause the undesirable side-effects.
- Inhibitors of 5 ⁇ -reductase activity decrease intraprostatic DHT while maintaining high levels of the precursor testosterone (McConnell et al., J. Urol. 141: 239A, 1989).
- 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitors are preferred, it is possible, in severe cases, that an antiandrogen could be added to the 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitor to more completely block androgens. It is also possible, in more severe cases, to add an LHRH agonist or antagonist. Generally, the LHRH agonist or antagonist and/or the antiandrogen will be used temporarily (preferably from 3 to 12 months) in order to cause a more rapid regression of BPH.
- One method of inhibiting activation of the estrogen receptor is treatment with an effective antiestrogen compound having an affinity for the receptor site such that it binds the receptor site and prevents estrogen from binding and activating the site. It is important to select antiestrogens which tend to be pure antagonists, and which have no agonistic activity. Otherwise, the antiestrogen which blocks the receptor site from estrogen, may itself activate the site. Preferred antiestrogens are discussed in detail below.
- Aromatase inhibitors in particular specifically inhibit formation of undesirable estrogen without blocking testosterone formation It is believed that absence of estrogen activity in men creates minimal if any unwanted side effects while beneficially reducing prostate cells. In severe cases, testosterone production is also inhibited. Inhibitors of 17 ⁇ -HSD close down the synthetic pathways crossed by vertical line 4 denoted "17 ⁇ -HSD" on Figure 1. Hence synthesis of both major forms of estrogen shown on
- a major pathway of estrogen formation is the aromatization of T into E 2 as well as the aromatization of ⁇ 4 -dione into E 1 , a weak estrogen, which is converted into the potent estrogen 17 ⁇ -estradiol by 17 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. It is thus useful to add an inhibitor of aromatase activity. Depending upon the potency of the compound, it might be useful to administer the aromatase inhibitor in association with an inhibitor of 17 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity and/or an antiestrogen.

- One or more of the active substances can be microencapsulated in or attached to a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer, e.g. poly(d,1-lactide-co-glycolide) and subcutaneously or intramuscularly injected by a technique called subcutaneous or intramuscular depot to provide continuous slow release of the compound(s) for a period of 2 weeks or longer.
- the LHRH agonist may be [D-Trp 6 ,des-Gly-NH 2 10 ] LHRH ethylamide which is administered subcutaneously in single daily dose of 500 ⁇ g for the first thirty (30) days of treatment and thereafter in a single daily dose of 250 ⁇ g: the antiandrogen is EM 101 which is administered orally in three equally divided daily doses of 250 mg; and the inhibitor of sex steroid biosynthesis is EM 139 and/or MX 906 administered orally in two equally divided doses of 50 mg every 12 hours.
- the inhibitor(s) of sex steroid biosynthesis and the antiandrogen are preferably administered to a male in need of BPH treatment of this invention two to four hours before the LHRH agonist or antagonist is administered, but the at tending clinician may elect to start administration of the LHRH agonist or antagonist, the antiandrogen and the inhibitor of steroid biosynthesis simultaneously.
- the sex steroid inhibitor 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitor, aromatase inhibitor and/or antiestrogens use of antiandrogens or either are particularly effective, chemical (LHRH agonist or antagonist) castration may be avoided.
- estrogen nucleus includes estrogenic and androgenic nuclei.
- the term "androgenic nucleus” includes any compound which, in the absence of the side chain substituent specified herein (R 1 E-B-R 2 -] L-G), is capable of acting as an androgen as determined by a weight increase of at least 35 percent over a seven-day period of the ventral prostate of castrated rats treated with the compound in question (15 milligrams twice daily per 100 grams of body weight) versus a control group of castrated rats. Treatment should start on the day of castration. The precise test, other than any parameters set forth in this paragraph, is that reported in Labrie et al., J. Ster. Biochem. 28, 379-384, 1987.
- estrogenic nucleus includes any compound which, in the absence of the side chain substituent specified herein (R 1 [-B-R 2 -] L-G), is capable of acting as an estrogen as determined by a weight increase of at least 100 percent over a seven-day period of the uterus of ovariectomized rats treated with the compound in question (0.5 mg twice daily per 100 grams of body weight) versus a control group of ovariectomized rats. Treatment should start on the day of castration.
- substituents may have either ⁇ or ⁇ stereochemistry or, where valence permits, may represent one substituent in ⁇ position and another in ⁇ position. Presence of optional double bonds are independent of each other. All structures include salts thereof. Atoms of any sex steroid nucleus for which no substituent is shown or described may optionally be substituted or unsubstituted so long as such substitution does not prevent the nucleus from functioning as a "sex steroid nucleus" as defined herein. Those atoms having a defined substitutent may optionally be further substituted by other substituents where their valence permits such further substitution.
- lower when describing a chemical moiety means a moiety having 8 or fever atoms.
- a “lower alkyl” means a C 1 to C 8 alkyl. Any moiety of more than two atoms may be straight- or branched-chain unless otherwise specified.
- sex steroid formation inhibitor includes both androgen and estrogen formation inhibitors and encompasses any compound which inhibits the biosynthesis of active sex steroids or their precursors.
- One mechanism by which sex steroid formation inhibitors act is by blocking enzymes which catalyze production of natural sex steroids (e.g. dihydrotestosterone), 17 ⁇ -estradiol and androst-5-ene-3 ⁇ -17 ⁇ -diol or precursors to such sex steroids (e.g. androstenedione).
- sex steroid formation inhibitors are compounds capable of blocking the enzymatic activity of, for example, 5 ⁇ -reductase, 3 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehvdrogenase,
